Are the parents sharing the real meaning with their kids or could the parents be too busy buying presents and decorating?

I think the real meaning of christmas has been fading away for years. I'm almost 19 and I know that when I was younger all I really cared about was the presents...Plus my birthday just happens to be on christmas, so I had a hard time finding out what the real meaning of christmas is. I think it's something you have to grow out of because it's usually a child thing. All you want is the new toy or game system or whatever. But as you grow up you realize that the presents don't really matter as much as the thought.

sure, i imagine so. keep in mind that faith can fade away in some ideas. a million. Fewer heads 2. a lot less non secular pastime/fervor. many human beings will say that so and this manner of excellent type of persons are nevertheless believers, or they have some obscure concept in a deity. yet this continues to be more effective than at the same time as virtually all and dissimilar replaced right into a diehard Christian. the in problem-free words places were faith isn't in decline is the places contained in the third international were human beings get many youthful ones. presented those countries are stabilized, i imagine we can see an same type there.

it`s really hard to teach young kids the meaning of Christmas as long as presents are involved.
they are going to be too excited and caught up in the gifts that won`t even really care about anything else.
i say just wait until they`re a little older for them to grasp the FULL concept of Christmas. When you get older, you start caring less and less about presents. They`ll appreciate it more when they have a chance to understand it better.

I think that commercialism has taken over and we need to be responsible for what we are doing.
It's time to tell the kids the truth about Christmas: it is about the birth of Jesus Christ.
Gifts are great but it's about the greatest gift of all: Salvation. A free gift.
"It is better to give than to receive."

no i dont tink so...i still feel the meaning even tho im getting older and my parents obviously dont teach it (it would be odd considering im in college). Most kids might not appreceate it now...but when they're older, they will. I went home this weekend and helped w/ the Tree, cookies and other decorating since i miss being home and helping with that and I havnt in a few years...kids are smart, they'll get it one day.

You are correct. The parents need to re-enforce what Christmas is about, and it isn't "I want."!
